Relationships between architects and clients - built upon expressed
values, as well as their import into the final work of architecture -
are typically not discussed in architectural education, rarely
considered in architectural criticism or theory, and usually missing in
most writing about architecture. This monograph seeks to highlight and
address this deficiency. The book focuses on the process that the firm
uses to help their clients to define values, and to intone them through
architectural design. Exquisitely presented throughout, this volume
presents a range of built and in-process works at a variety of scales,
complexity, and locations, with various clients. Most of these projects
have not been previously published. The projects will be documented and
discussed within the context of the value proposition and design process
that distinguish Pickard Chilton's approach to architecture.
